jonathan, I can go to amazon with no trouble. I'll look
around to see if I can figure anything. I removed
Zonealarm and checked with adaware and spybot but still
can't find anything that might be conflicting. I'd clean
out the whole thing and start again but HP didn't send a
windows xp disk and now are hassling me about if I really
own this copy of XP. Oh well, can you think of anything
else that might be conflicting? thanks,bill
